King of the Bandits (1947)


Monogram Pictures
Directed by Christy Cabanne
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, VCI Entertainment)

In the sixth and final Gilbert Roland Cisco Kid entry the dreaded dubbing returns. This time, every utterance of "Cisco" or "Pancho" is done over by poorly matched voices. It is very distracting, especially in a dialogue-heavy film like this one. Cisco and Pancho are in Arizona where someone is impersonating Cisco to rob stages. As usual, Cisco is making love to a beautiful woman while trying to prove his innocence.
